I agree! Def get the bags. And yes...they HELP! My gas leaves quite quickly when I drink Heather's fennel tea. And I've tried others...none are as strong as hers!

I have been drinking the "eater's digest" tea from Traditional Medicinals, which contains both peppermint and fennel. But I can't say I've ever really noticed it helping, so I am going to try Heather's tea to see if it makes any difference. Good luck, Augie!

I have the loose seeds. It seemed more economical that way. I don't seem to taste much at all, but all I have access to is the hot water in the water dispenser. It's hot, but not really hot enough to brew it good.
I bought a heating pad yesterday. Let's hope I don't have to use it or drink any tea for a while.

I love the taste of this tea. But, like you, not sure if it helps the symptoms. I'm drinking it now if fact! At night, I usually mix 2 bags and one bag peppermint together.

Hello All,

I thought I'd jump in here and ask about the fennel tea. I'm very interested in it, never had it and can't for the life of me find it anywhere I've looked. I'd like to order it from Heather, but if I can't stomach the taste of it I'd hate to waste it if I didn't like it. I wish I could get like a sample or something to see if I like it.

Any suggestions from anyone?

Thanks,

Carol

Whole foods usually carries Altiva fennel tea for about $3.50. Or, you could buy a small bottle of fennel in the spice/herb aisle and smash the seeds and put them in a tea ball to test the taste factor.

Also, you could buy a fennel bulb in the produce aisle and cook it to test the taste.

I really wouldn't care what it tasted like as long as it worked for gas and bloating! Add a little rice milk or sugar or stevia....or add another flavored herb tea to help the taste. I happen to like the taste.

It steeps, it gets stronger... stronger fennel tea means more health benefits from it.
